"“The dean of fly-fishing turns in another celebration of the free, unfettered life spent working a quiet stream. . . . Just the thing for any fan of fly-tying and artful casting.” * Kirkus Reviews * ""Shrewd, perceptive and wryly funny. . . . Mr. Gierach, the man who coined the term 'trout bum,' is arguably the best fishing writer working."" -- Bill Heavey * The Wall Street Journal * “Gierach’s inviting, down-to-earth, and humorous work shares a deep love of fly-fishing and the ways it can be a metaphor for life.” * Publishers Weekly * “I’ve never met John Gierach in person, but after reading him I believe I’ve camped with him, fished with him, laughed with him.  In his writing he knows to stay invisible, to let you slip into the story in his place. . . . You believe it is you doing these things, seeing these things, smelling, hearing and tasting them.  And, of course, now and then everything goes right, and you come up tight to that trout, and you turn to see him smiling.  You’ve got All the Time in the World, so enjoy every journey, every cast, every laugh.” -- Pete Fromm, author of <I>A Job You Mostly Won't Know How To Do</I> and <I>If Not For This</I>"
